Halo 2 PC Closing Down

[Resinball]

I don't get their methodology. They offer no alternative FPS game(s) to play or purchase on the gaming device of our choice. What kind of business sense is that to just ignore potential customers.

H3 or any other older unreleased Halo (on PC) would sell gangbusters. Meanwhile Steam is eating their lunch and now its hanging out on the living room couch as well. So focused on thier XBOX, how long can they afford to refuse money?

Because they think it's more profitable to try and herd everybody onto their prime-time gaming solution. They want to sell you an Xbox AND a copy of Halo AND all of the accessories and services that come with it.

I'm not sure it would really add much to the development cost to make Halo multi-platform to begin with, but doing so would certainly make some people not buy an Xbox because they can get a game they really really want on the PC.

A herd of cattle can only eat so much of the same field of grass before its bare.

Microsoft needs to get their shit together.

I can't believe they're taking my Halo 2 Vista away!!

I'm down for game night.

I posted in the news section and linked 343i to the buyers remorse letter you wrote a while back. hopefully bs_angel reads it and actually says something...

Not even a new refurbished game for windows 8 but a massive title update for the original game (that fixes all these horrible bugs) worth 10 bucks

I mean people pay 10 bucks for map packs all the time! I would def pay 10 bucks for a title update for H2V.

Funny thing about her is that she will only reply when she it works in her favor. She's a bit of a cunt.

Too bad I can't remind the Waypoint forums of that, else they may ban me and stuff me into one of those new top-secret filing cabinets and put it under OPENED MOUTH/INCINERATE.

If anything, Halo 4 needs to be dragged out into the woods and shot in the back of the head. Put thatsick dog out of its damn misery already. Halo 2 over here is just old. Not doing much, but still a faithful companion.

Dude, leave Halo 4 out of this thread. It isn't pertinent and frankly every time you post about it you look like you're raging. The game isn't bad (yes I've played it enough to say that) and in comparison I find it to be a fun, time-worthy game. Halo 4 maybe isn't what you want, but your consistently rash statements don't belong in this thread. It's not Halo 4's fault for H2V being cut down. There is a bigger fish here. So please, direct your rage at Microshit for not understanding that pleasing your consumer pays for itself.

As far as BS Angel is concerned, she's just a spokesperson. Honestly word from her wouldn't matter to me at all, especially given how she probably wouldn't have any valuable information to give.

I have started a Farewell game night thread in this forum. If you're interested, please vote for a time and help decide a date for this game night.

There's also literally no reason to do this, since it's just a god damn server browser. It's not like Microsoft is hosting shit.

I could not agree more. Its not like they are HOSTING THE SERVERS.
Pretty pissed. Ive been running halo 2 vista servers for the past 3 years and hoping to god Microsoft will pull something out of their ass and throw the pc players a fucking bone.

I read through all the comments on that post by Hawty McBloggy. Even though I'd rather see H2V put to rest, it still pisses me off. No, not because Microsoft is doing it, but because of all the console fags there who are saying they are "sorry" that H2PC is going down and that they hope to see an anniversary remake of Halo 2 on XBOX. Well, go to Hell you inconsiderate bastards. We're the ones losing a Halo game, not you with your Halo 4, Halo Reach, and fuck, even your Halo 3 that you can play. Why not an anniversary remake on PC instead?

I honestly don't get it myself. You'd think if M$ ported one of the newer Halo's today, it'd sell like candy. All they need to do is support thier shit, get rid of GFWL and get back to the fucking basics. You know how much they probably made off Halo 1 PC and all the other games published by them before 2006? A fucking shit-load compared to what they are doing right now. I don't get it, they make it so damn clear they are in it for the money.

Say they ported Halo 4, and actually supported it for a while.. (which shoulden't be that fucking hard) they'd make a good buck compared to just having it on the xbox, which I could honestly give two-fucks about if Halo was on the PC. They baited me in, I still buy all the new Halo games, still ONE DAY hoping they will get their shit together and I can sell all that bullshit and buy the new Halo for PC. They really hit a new low with windows 8 though, hopefully shit will start to turn around.
